Those are returned by svn_stream_open_unique(), the docco of which
says "and the full path will be returned in @a temp_path."
Case we can rename those to patched_abspath and reject_abspath.

There is a 'path' variable in the strip_path() function.
It can be either absolute or relative, depending on what paths
the patch file contains. Same for the 'stripped_path' variable in
resolve_target_path(). And 'canon_path_from_patchfile' also depends
on the patch file input.

There's a 'parent_path' in the status baton, which should probably
be parent_abspath, depending on how svn_wc_walk_status() behaves.

The other paths I see in libsvn_client/patch.c already carry 'rel'
or 'abs' in their name.
